I have the DYNATECHs and love them.

Honestly, the list you made your hp and tq levels will end up being very similiar. I have installed the DYNATECHs, ARHs and LGs and the ARHs are the easiest hands down. I like the design and think that they are edging out the others out.

ARHs gets my vote.

Not to jack the thread here, but I'm impressed with how you kind you guys were to the OP. I've seen tons of threads on here about which headers someone should get, and he probably would've been flamed and told to search on other forums.

Guess there's a level of maturity here...

Since you are particuarly interested in strong torque numbers and a flat curve I think the Bassani's out perform the others pretty strongly. LGs, Kooks etc are known for strong Hp #s but if you look at most cars with them you will see the tq #s are down. Tri Y headers seems to consistantly develop stonger torque and flatter curves. IMHO
